Chapter 419: Ju Ao Dan Palace
In the Dandian of Yicai City, Song Pingzi didn't know where it was, and he forgot to ask. I remember that in the mission hall, in addition to the travel registration where Feng Hu was on the day, there were also the Dan Palace, the Instrument Palace, and the Array Palace, and Song Pingzi came to the Dan Hall counter in the Mission Hall ten days after alchemy in public.
Behind the counter were two middle-aged staff, a man and a woman, who saw Song Pingzi coming and hurriedly got up to say hello. Ten days ago, Song Pingzi was alchemy in public, and the people in the Dan Hall went, so he naturally knew this new Dan Master who was valued by Lord Yunzi and personally appointed by Wei Yizhou.
"Master Song Dan, do you have any instructions?" The man spoke first, he was just a staff member, not a Dan master of the Dan Palace, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Manager Dong made an appointment to come to Dandian today to report, I don't know if I am here." Others are polite, and Song Pingzi will naturally not be arrogant.
"Master Song Dan, this place is just an external office counter in the Dan Palace, and the Dan Hall is not here." The man suddenly realized that Song Pingzi should not know the specific location of the Dan Palace, so he would come to the Mission Palace.
After the man's explanation, Song Pingzi understood that the mission hall was equivalent to the summary of the respective functions of the defense force. Dong Zekun occasionally works on the second floor of this place, but most of the time he is still in the Dandian, perhaps because Song Pingzi is going to report today, and he is not here.
The man took Song Pingzi out of the mission hall very enthusiastically, and walked through two streets before he saw the real Dan Palace, which looked like a mansion of a large family on the outside, I don't know if it was to hide the real function or for other reasons, and there was no mark on the door.
When he arrived, the man took his leave.
Song Pingzi stepped into this seemingly normal door outside, and an old man stuck out his head at the location of the gatehouse, "Bold, don't you know what kind of place this is?" Get out. ”
He didn't speak loudly, but his tone was condescending.
Song Pingzi was not angry, it was normal for others not to know him, but from the attitude of this old man, it could also be seen that Dandian's status in the defense army system.
"I'm Song Pingzi, come to ......" Song Pingzi was about to introduce himself honestly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man again, "I don't care who you are, get out!" ”
The first time, Song Pingzi gave the other party a reason not to be angry, but the second time he didn't finish speaking, the old man interrupted rudely, and Song Pingzi was a little displeased, "I'm Danshi Song Pingzi!" ”
"Danshi? Where is the Danshi? The old man obviously didn't expect this young man to be a Dan Master. The Dan Masters in Yicai City all looked like immortals, when did there become a young man.
Song Pingzi was almost laughed at by the other party.
At this moment, a person came from outside, saw Song Pingzi and the old man at the gate confronting each other, and hurriedly explained to the old man: "Old Wu, this Song Danshi should have come to report today." It's normal that you don't know him, but he is indeed our Dan Master of Colorful City. ”
In the old man's puzzled eyes, the person who came in from outside briefly explained Song Pingzi's origin.
"Let's go inside! Can a young man really refine the Stealth Pill? Try your luck! The old man's words were no longer aimed at this time, and his tone was much kinder, but he still didn't quite believe it.
"Song Danshi, you're here to report today! I am Zheng Ke, Dong Shi's Dan disciple. Only then did the man turn to Song Pingzi to explain his identity.
Song Pingzi had already known some of the Dan Hall compositions of Yicai City at Fenghu a few days ago.
There are no other branches under the general management, and in addition to logistics assistance, the Dan master will generally have a few Dan disciples. Dantu is not said to be Danshi's apprentice, but more like a handyman, responsible for all kinds of miscellaneous matters of Danshi, purchasing medicinal materials, and even in some places, Dantu is also responsible for the external sales of Danshi's own refined pills.
The status of the Dan disciples under the jurisdiction of the superb Dan Master will also be different because of the status of the Dan Master, of course, that is external. In the Dan Palace, the status of any Dan master is not comparable to that of Dan disciples, including the Dan disciples in charge of Dong Zekun, who saw Song Pingzi with a humble attitude.
Zheng Ke took Song Pingzi to walk inside, while introducing the situation of the Dan Palace, Song Pingzi also observed all the way what the real Dan Hall was, there is no narrative hall here, and if there is anything to do, it should be dealt with on the second floor of the task hall.
The various houses here seem to have no planning, and there is a distance between them, and it seems that each Danshi has his own independent house, presumably to facilitate the Danshi's alchemy and confidentiality.
However, what you see in each house and the mission hall is very different, although it looks simple, but the building materials are more expensive than the other, which shows that the Danshi is worth a lot. The buildings are scattered, occasionally cloudy and mist, passing by several artificial lakes, the water quality is turquoise and clear, and the lake is dotted with lotus flowers, and the scenery is pleasant.
The faint medicinal fragrance is fragrant, which makes people feel that this is the mysterious Dan Hall of Yicai City.
"If Song Danshi were alchemizing in the Dan Palace, there would also be such a house, but most of the Dan masters came here just to deliver the pills, and more were Dan disciples." Zheng Ke's introduction made Song Pingzi understand that the so-called Dan Hall was just a formality, and most of the Dan masters had separate mansions in Yicai City, otherwise alchemy, apprenticeship, trading pills, and even using Dan people to try Dan would not be able to be hidden.
"However, today, Dong Shi summoned all 37 Dan Masters from Yicai City. Now they should all be waiting for Song Danshi at Dong Shi's residence. Zheng Ke's words made Song Pingzi feel bad.
I just listened to Zheng Ke's introduction, these Dan masters should not come here often, and the management is also very loose, but they are all here today, and it is impossible to welcome him Song Pingzi to join the Dan Palace, Dong Zekun's state of action that day is not very friendly, and today I called all the Dan masters, and its purpose will not be simple, and I secretly reminded myself in my heart.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zheng Kecai took Song Pingzi to a five-story building, not only the tallest building in the Dan Palace, but also the scale of the buildings that seemed to be passing by were not as big as the buildings passing by, and the words "Kun Shi Pavilion" were hung under the corridor on the second floor, which was light and light, as if the person who wrote was free and easy.
There were two doormen standing at the door, and when they saw Zheng Ke and Song Pingzi coming, one of them greeted them, and the other walked into the building.
"Master Song Dan, Master Dong has been waiting inside for half an hour." The voice of the person who greeted him was respectful, but in his tone, Song Pingzi clearly heard a kind of slave voice that was fighting with people, and he did not mean to let Song Pingzi enter the door.
"Master Song Danshi, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Zheng Ke saw that he roughly understood, and immediately found an excuse and left.
Song Pingzi's impression of Zheng Ke is not bad, at least from the time he came in from outside the gate until now, Zheng Ke's tone was respectful, and he did not show a little contempt or "condescending" feeling, compared with the person who watched the door, it was completely one up and down. Therefore, Song Pingzi also deliberately bowed his hand and said goodbye to him.
This scene made a trace of disdain flash in the eyes of the doorman who "blocked" Song Pingzi. If a Dan Master treats a Dan disciple so well, it can only show that the Dan Master's own ability is limited.
Zheng Ke left, Song Pingzi was about to move forward, but the doorman still did not let go, but said respectfully: "Song Danshi will go to tell Master Dong later, you wait for Master Dong to summon you." ”
A simple sentence made Song Pingzi also feel the level of the Dan Palace, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as what Zheng Ke said, just Dan Master and Dan Disciple, I am afraid that there is deeper water.
About the time when he stood outside the building for half a cup of tea, he heard Dong Zekun's voice coming from inside, "It's Song Danshi who is here!" Please forgive me for the poor reception, and I have been discussing matters with all the Dan masters just now, and I have delayed some time. ”
Under the crown and hat worn by a rare cultivator, Dong Zekun's face seemed to be really apologetic, but there was not a single salute movement on his hand, which made Song Pingzi's already raised arm put down again. "Mr. Dong is in charge of everything, but I don't know where the Dan Hall is, so I went to the Mission Hall and came back, so I delayed for a while."
Song Pingzi's words made Dong Zekun's face stagnate, and Song Pingzi made the reason for coming late clear, and naturally he couldn't take it out later. The flashing expression was clearly seen in Song Pingzi's eyes, and he was also smiling secretly in his heart, even telling lies so "sincerely", this Dong Zekun may not be so easy to get along with in the future.
Dong Zekun's footsteps did not stop at all, he walked out of the door and came straight to Song Pingzi, did not blame the doorman for blocking him, nor did he reach out to hold Song Pingzi, but said to the door that he had just walked out: "Today is the time for the Dandian to narrate, and it just so happens that Song Danshi is also here, and I hope to give some advice to myself in a while." After the meeting, I will arrange for someone to inform Song Danshi of the relevant matters. ”
One after the other, each with his own thoughts, walked in.
The interior on the ground floor is like a conference hall, the furnishings are very simple, and those who don't know the goods will definitely feel very shabby, but Song Pingzi feels a strong taste of luxury from each low place.
